Putting Fast Food Out of Business

In the U.S. fast food stores are being put out of business by E.coli infections, bad green onions, or idiotic city councils (see also New York City). In England, a McDonald's is going out of business, but for a different reason:

McDonald's is closing its outlet in a town known for quality food and healthy, local produce.

The fast food chain in Tavistock, Devon, simply wasn't being used enough by locals.

So after seven years struggling to make ends meet in a town that has won many accolades for the quality of its food, McDonald's will finally shut up shop on Saturday.

John Taylor, chairman of Tavistock EatWise campaign, said: "Because of the quality of our local food McDonald's has not been able to compete."

Earlier this year Tavistock won the title of Best Food Town in the South West.

It's hard to believe that town has something better than hot, salty McDonald's fries.
